Perhaps I don't understand something here.

Some one said that Hippo was bought and paid for. That hippo in the flick, was bought an paid for, no other? So you had to shot that hippo no matter what because you were paying anyway for it.

No passing it up for a better shot at another hippo?

And they didn't shot the hippo when it was standing because there was no shot is that correct?

Do you pay extra for a charge? Or can you just buy a standing hippo for less money?
